13.14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?​

Physics

Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.

A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =
jarptica [38.1K]

           Kinetic energy  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second.  So we'll have to
make that conversion.

        KE  =  (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

               =  (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)²  (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

               =  (725.5) · ( 40/3 )²  ·  ( kg·m² / sec²)

               =    128,978  joules  (rounded)

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

Bob rides his bike with a constant speed of 10 miles per hour. How long will he take to travel a distance of 15 miles?
ICE Princess25 [194]

{\underline{\pink{\textsf{\textbf{ Answer : }}}}}

➡ 150hrs.

{\underline{\pink{\textsf{\textbf{Explanation : }}}}}

➡ Time = distance × speed

➡ Time = 15*10

➡ Time = 150hrs ans.

Pam, wearing a rocket pack, stands on frictionless ice. She has a mass of 49 kg. The rocket supplies a constant force for 22.0 m
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Magnitude of the force is 4350N

Explanation:

As the woman accelerates at a distance of 22 m to go from rest to 62.5 m / s, we can use the kinematics to find the acceleration

v² = v₀² + 2 a x

v₀ = 0

a = v² / 2x

 a = 62.5²/(2 × 22)

 a = 88.78m/s²

the time you need to get this speed

     v = v₀ + a t

     t = v / a

     t = 62.5 / 88.78

     t = 0.704s

Let's caculate the magnitude of the force

F = ma

= 49 × 88.78

= 4350.22

≅ 4350N

Magnitude of the force is 4350N

     t = 1,025 s

      a = 55.43 m / s²
